ayurvedic perspective
Always soak dried fruits before eating. Dried fruits are generally sweeter and harder to digest than fresh ones. Take for example that one cup of apricots is equivalent to cup dried apricots. To reconstitute them, dried apricots must absorb at least 3 times their volume in water from the digestive tract. Gastric juices also have a harder time penetrating poorly chewed, dense dried fruits. For those with dry or otherwise weak digestion the sweetness of dried fruits quickly leads to fermentation, gas and bloating.
Drying apricots makes them sweeter. A cup of dried apricots contains more sugar than one cup fresh. Dried apricots are also higher in fiber. However, the drying process destroys some of the nutrients in fresh apricots.
Like most members of the rose family, eating too many seeds could cause cyanide poisoning.

buying & preparation
I prefer Turkish dried apricots because of their slightly smokey more embodied flavor. Avoid the dried fruits that contain sulfites.

Soak overnight before eating. Blend with honey and powdered cinnamon for a delicious snack. Mexicans enjoy apricots in 'Chamoy' - where the apricots are pickled in brine, vinegar, and chili powder and sometimes served as a sauce atop Popsicles/sorbets. Common Popsicle flavors include pineapple, cucumber, lime, mango, orange, tangerine, tamarind and watermelon.
